Found this unusual “creature” at a mountain park here in Cebu. The kids were quite amused and scared at the same time when they saw this, they thought its an ent. Ents are fictional giant tree-like forest guardians from J.R. Tolkien’s novels.

The tree is made of cement but from a distance, it looks like a real tree as if with real roots and leaves. Its a huge planter with plants on branches that appears to be part of the tree.  Also the abundance of trees around it made it looked like its really part of the forest. You can find this tree in the peaceful Cebu Mountain View Nature’s Park up in Busay Hills, Cebu City. A mere 10 minutes away from Lahug. I love this place with a great vista of the city and the sea, fresh cool air and serene environment. Bring the whole family here – the kids will surely enjoy the campsite, mini-zoo, hanging bridges and pool. While grandpa and grandma will enjoy the cool breeze in one of the cottages and swings in the area. Perfect for afternoon picnic, mom and dad will enjoy it here as well. This place is just perfect for serious contemplation or simply daydream, just make sure that the nobody is in the karaoke area.
